hi everyone,
I just came back from the sonystyle store. I drove the 45 miles to the store with my mind set on getting the 600. I currently have the 505 but was looking forward to the dictionary feature. I also hoping the the new reader would be a whole faster at page turning.
After seeing the new reader, I must admit that I am extremely disappointed with the screen. Now, it's not completely awful to look at, blurry enough to keep me from reading after any extended use.

As for the speed, it really wasn't that much faster. At least not enough to warrant the upgrade.

So, I would certainly recommend getting the 505 over the newer models.
